Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website prior to any such transfer becoming effective.

5 Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our platform and website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit our site.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly. These cannot be disabled without impacting your ability to use our services. Includes session authentication and CSRF protection tokens.

  • Preference cookies: Remember your settings such as language, theme, and notification preferences.
  • Marketing cookies: Only placed with your explicit consent. Used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookie Preferences" button in the sidebar, or by adjusting your browser settings. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

When data is no longer required, we ensure it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

7 Your Rights (GDPR)

As a data subject under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have significant rights over your personal data. ContentOrbit AI is committed to upholding these rights fully and promptly. We will respond to all valid requests within one month.

πŸ€–
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. ContentOrbit AI does not currently make such automated decisions.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at hello@contentorbit.ai with the subject line "Data Rights Request". We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data rights have not been respected.

8 Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure.

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (HTTPS)
  • Encryption at rest: All stored data, including account information and content, is encrypted using AES-256
  • Access controls: Strict role-based access controls limit which ContentOrbit AI employees can access user data, with audit logs maintained for all access events
  • Two-factor authentication: Available and encouraged for all user accounts
  • Regular security audits: We conduct penetration testing and vulnerability assessments at least annually
  • Incident response: We have a documented data breach response procedure and will notify affected users and the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms

While we implement robust security measures, no system is entirely immune to risk. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your ContentOrbit AI account and to enable two-factor authentication.

9 International Transfers

ContentOrbit AI is headquartered in the United Kingdom. However, some of our third-party service providers operate outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). Where we transfer personal data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office
  • Adequacy decisions where the destination country has been determined to offer equivalent data protection standards
  • Binding Corporate Rules for intra-group transfers, where applicable

Our primary cloud infrastructure is hosted on AWS within EU regions (Ireland and Frankfurt). Data processing by US-based vendors such as Intercom is governed by Data Processing Addendums (DPAs) incorporating UK and EU SCCs.

10 Children's Privacy

ContentOrbit AI's services are intended for business and professional use and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 16.

If you believe that a child under 16 has provided personal information to us without appropriate parental consent, please contact us immediately at hello@contentorbit.ai. Upon verification, we will promptly delete such data from our systems.
